If you are looking forward to playing Champions Online, and know you are going to be playing it a lot, how about considering a one-time-only subscription payment of $200? In return you can play for as long as the game runs without any further payments required other than buying the game in the first place. Alternatively Cryptic are also offering a 6 month subscription for $59.99.

The offer is time-limited and you only have until the end of this month to decide, but to sweeten the deal opting for the lifetime subscription gets you the following bonuses:

Access to the Star Trek Online Closed Beta, beginning later this year

Exclusive Art Deco costume set

Exclusive Retro Future costume set, available only to lifetime subscribers

Unique Mirror Universe outfit for Star Trek Online, available at the game’s release

Exclusive in-game Foxbat action figure, available only to lifetime subscribers

Eight additional character slots!

The six month subscription just ensures you get the art deco costume set and the Star Trek Online closed beta access.

For comparison, if you assume that the monthly subscription charge to play Champions Online will be $15 the lifetime subscription is like paying for 13 months in advance. Is it worth it? Decisions, decisions.
